What is a Serrated Utility and What is it Used For?
Meet the perfect knife for preparing your packed lunch! Thanks to its fine, serrated edge, the WÜSTHOF Serrated Utility Knife cuts cleanly through sandwich rolls, baguettes, cured sausages, cheeses, leftover roasted meats, tomatoes, and smaller fruits and vegetables without pulling, crushing, or tearing.
What is a Carving Knife?
The WÜSTHOF Hollow-Edge Carving Knife is designed to help you effortlessly carve beautiful roasts or showstopping vegetable mains. With a longer, narrower blade than a chef's knife, the distinct shape and sharpness is specifically designed for cutting larger or tougher ingredients — a holiday roast, for example — into clean, even, wafer-thin slices. The pointed tip allows you to easily guide meat away from the bone, and the hollows along the blade’s edge create tiny air pockets that prevent food from sticking. WÜSTHOF Straight Meat Fork, with its extremely sharp, narrow prongs, holds your roast steady during carving, and helps with portioning and serving when it’s time to feast.
